His program is awesome and will put you in probly the best shape ever. But for me right now im taking a in-shape break...monster energy drinks and lots of beer and weed. Come feb 1st though this will be my workout.

a great thing to get to drop your lap times is a stationary bikes.

we did my laptimes before and after riding a stationary bike for 30 minuites a day and we have found fantastic results.

Sorry man you got winter's to deal with i have summer's to deal with i personally would rather have snow than 100+ deg temps cause thats no fun to ride in at least snow you can still bundle up and ride some.

[bloodmoney23]

well we might in the next couple years be packing up and moving to AZ or Palm Dessert......trust me I know what it feels like. When the wind hits your face and feels like a blow dryer non stop. But I hate snow sooooo id rather be in your position.

[TRX450RACER174]

Well if you you pack up and move to Palm Desert i'm only a stones throw away from there.

well my wifes whole family live out there and in idylwild up in the mountains and as long as I can find a good job doing something I like that we can afford we will move there. If I cant im going to go to AZ cause i already would have a good job at UPS set up. Next time im out that way with the bike ill try to hook up with ya and we can run some laps somewhere or something.
